1992 Summary:
Effective wildlife management requires knowing the location, distribution and number of habitats that are important to wildlife. Within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), there is some information on the habitat requirements of several species but descriptions of these habitats and information about how these habitats are important to wildlife are not documented. This study, supported by th...

Summary:
The project will evaluate airborne RADAR data as well as Landsat TM and SPOT satellite data to distinguish vegetation cover types of the tundra near Baker Lake. Detailed vegetation surveys will be carried out in the field. The data will be used to classify vegetation cover types and in accuracy assessment. Wildlife habitat types will be based on the resultant classification and produced as mapped ...

Summary:
This is a continuation of a project begun in 1986 to study year to year variation in breeding densities of shorebirds. The Researcher and team will determine which species of birds breed on the islands of the Foxe Basin, which habitats they use and how their numbers change from year to year. They are also interested in producing a map of the main wildlife habitats on the islands using satellite im...

Summary:
Deltaic geomorphology and fluvial environments will be mapped and studied, sedimentation studies will be done and samples taken for laboratory analysis. Vegetation will be mapped and categorized as to terrestrial, wetland and aquatic. Small mammal trapping, to determine species composition and their use of various vegetation types. Similar field observations will be made on the habitats of delt...
